Curing a viral infection. Antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

➡️ Because Viruses lack biochemical pathways, i. e., they don't have their own machinery and use host's machinery for their metabolic purposes. So, Antibiotics will not have effect against them.
That's it..
